Haydon Arnold (2-1) picked up the win for Tech going two innings, but only allowing one run on one hit and striking out two.

Chad Knight got the start for the Wonder Boys (14-17-1) but picked up the no decision after being pulled after three innings of play. Knight allowed seven runs, only four earned, on seven hits. Josh Floriani picked up the save as he closed out the game pitching the last 12/3 innings. Floriani allowed no runs on two hits and struck out three.

The Vikings added four runs in the top of the fourth to regain the lead at 8-6, but Colovic's home run in the bottom of the inning gave Tech the upperhand once again.

The Wonder Boys added another run in the bottom of the sixth, but they had to hold off a late rally in the eighth as Augustana College scored three runs to pull within one.
